Hedge argues that the Democratic Party must decisively reject corporate accommodation and embrace a populist economic agenda that confronts concentrated power head on. Drawing on the successes of Biden era antitrust enforcers like Lina Khan and Jonathan Kanter, she outlines how targeted regulatory action, blocking mergers, curbing junk fees and challenging tech monopolies can deliver tangible benefits for workers and consumers. Hedge contends that anti-monopoly governance is not just policy but political strategy: a way to rebuild trust, mobilise public support, and realign the party with the interests of the many rather than the few.
